Work Requirement

Introduction

In this window, the user is able to create and manage an order for a Process Plan to be executed a certain number of times to satisfy the production requirements.

Warning

Important: Before creating a work requirement, it is necessary to have a Process Plan defined.

A work requirement is a document indicating what has to be produced and by what date. The work requirement is created based on a process plan. The operations with the related details are populated in the work requirement. Once the operations are populated, the information can be overwritten if needed.

A work requirement can be created in two ways:

  • manually in the screen
  • automatically as an outcome of the manufacturing plan in MRP.

Here, it is possible to create production orders by choosing dates and the previously defined work requirement model.

Organization: organization in which the production will be executed.

Document Type: used for easy filtering, for example separate production department names can be set up as document types.

Document No.: number of the work requirement.

Process Plan: name of the process plan that is used for this production.

Quantity: number of batches to be produced. The field is automatically populated based on the entered process quantity and conversion rate.

WR Creation Date: the date the document is created. This date is used as a reference to define the corresponding process plan version.

Starting Date: date that the production is planned to start

Ending Date: date that the production is planned to end

Conversion Rate: batch size for production

Include Phases when inserting checkbox: when the checkbox is selected: in the Work Requirement, when the information from the process plan is copied, the operations and the products are included. The setup is also in the process plan, but that set up can be overwritten in this screen if needed.

Process Quantity: total quantity to be produced

Process Unit: the product to be produced

Estimated Time: information of the estimated execution time, that is populated when the work requirement is processed. The calculation is: estimated time taken from the process plan x process quantity on the work requirement.

Run Time: populated information of the real execution time, taken from the work effort.

Process Work Requirement button: to insert the information from the process plan in the work requirement

Create Work Effort button: to create work related to the work requirement once the work requirement is processed. Work efforts related to all operations are created at once, so depending on the amount of operations, one or more work efforts are created. If the create standards checkbox is selected in the operation, the create standards process is executed also, to insert the product information in the work effort. In all cases, the processing of the work effort is executed manually.

Note

The Create Standards process will only complete successfully if there is sufficient stock for the used products (P-) of the operation. If there is no sufficient stock, not only will the Create Standard process fail, but also no Work Effort is created.When there is sufficient stock, the Create Standards process is executed successfully and by default the Completed Quantity in the [Production Run] tab is set to the full quantity on the operation.

Operation

In this tab, the user can add or edit operations and activities to be performed for the related work requirement.

After processing the Work Requirement, the information in the operation tab is populated from the Process Plan. The main tab of the Work Requirement is showing that the Work Requirement is processed and the Estimated Time is showing the total of estimated times of all operations.

The fields in these two tabs are mostly taken from the Process Plan, but can be overwritten in the Work Requirement. For a description of these fields, please see the Process Plan section.

The Starting Date and Ending Date of the operations are defaulting from the main tab of the Work Requirement, but can be overwritten.

The Estimated Time on the operation is calculated using the formula: estimated time of the operation taken from the process plan x quantity on the operation.

The Run Time information is populated based on total actual hours populated from the Work Effort for the operation.

Close Phase: With this process, the work requirement phase is closed. If all the phases are closed the work requirement will also be closed.

Product

In this tab, it is possible to add or edit I/O products to be used for the selected operation of the work requirement.

The information in the Product tab is populated from the information in the I/O Products tab of the Process Plan, upon processing of the Work Requirement.

  • Movement Quantity: value populated from the Quantity field in the I/O Products tab of the Process plan.

Info

For a description of the rest of the fields, please refer to the Process Plan.

Work Effort

Introduction

In this window, the use can edit precisely what has been produced from a selected product order.

The work effort records the work executed by employees during a production shift. The document is used for the following purposes:

  • to calculate the real cost related to the production of a product.
  • to keep track of the remaining effort on work requirements.

Work Effort

Here, it is possible to create a report for the completed work requirement for a desired date and time.

  • The Movement Date, Starting Time and Ending Time indicate on which date and during which shift the production took place.
  • The Create Standards button (displayed in the "Production Run" tab) is used to execute the process that loads all the P- and P+ information as well as global used products, machines, salary categories, indirect cost, toolsets. When the standards are created, also stock of all P- products is checked and an error appears if any products do not have stock. For the Create Standards process to complete successfully, the Completed Quantity has to be greater than zero.
  • Once the standards are created and all the correct information concerning the production is entered, the work effort is validated by clicking the Validate Work Effort button. At this point, the stock information is updated. For P-, the stock decreases and, for P+, it increases.
  • Optionally, the Work Effort can be posted to the general ledger journal once the configuration is added. If done, information related to the cost of the raw material and produced products is posted.

  • Result checkbox: indication that the maintenance task is executed successfully. If the result is not successful, the task is still considered completed. For any follow up actions, a new maintenance plan is created.

Insert Maintenances

Introduction

The insert maintenances process executes population of the scheduled maintenance tasks to the Maintenance Plan based on the maintenance information in the machine category and/or machine screen.

The creation of the maintenance plan is based on a date range that is entered upon launching the process.

Maintenance Plan

Introduction

Here, it is possible to add and edit predefined maintenance plans.

The Maintenance Plan information is created in 2 possible ways:

  • populated automatically by the insert maintenances process
  • manually: for example, to enter data when a machine breaks down and needs corrective maintenance.

Any maintenance tasks that have a Maintenance Order linked, are hidden by a default filter that is applied to the screen.

Maintenance

Here, it is possible to create and edit maintenance tasks for a specific date.

The Maintenance Plan gives an overview of all the maintenance tasks for a certain time period that are entered by the insert maintenances process or manually. Regardless of how the records were created, the information can be updated to change dates or add comments.

Once the maintenance task is correctly reflected, the confirmation checkbox is selected.

Calculate Standard Costs

Introduction

The Calculate Standard Costs process is run to generate the standard (= theoretical) cost of manufactured products.

Cost information is set up in several screens:

  • in the Process Plan, the use of the Cost center is defined
  • in the cost center, the following cost is defined:
  • Employee information: salary category information as well as the quantity used per hour for the cost center. Based on these, the cost of the employee is calculated. The salary category cost is entered in the Salary Category screen.
  • Machine information: the machine and usage information is entered in the cost center screen. The machine cost is entered in the Machine screen.
  • Indirect cost information: all indirect cost items related to a cost center are list. The indirect cost is entered in the Indirect Cost screen.
  • in the process plan, the quantities and cost of the materials used in the production process are defined.

For raw material, the price list information is used for the cost of the P-. The purchase price list that is used for the raw material cost is marked as default.

The cost information that is calculated for a product P+ is used when that product is a P- for another operation.

The formula that is used by the process is the following:

(Cost of Cost Center + Cost Employees + Cost Machines + Indirect Costs) + (Quantity P- x Cost P-) = the cost per unit.

When the costs of the cost center, machines, employees and indirect costs are calculated, they are multiplied by different values depending on their unit of measure:

  • If per Hour is used, the cost is multiplied by the Use of the cost center in the Process Plan
  • If per Unit is used, the cost is multiplied by the sum of the quantities of the P+'s of the sequence.
  • If per Kilogram is used, the cost is multiplied by the sum of the weight of all the P+'s of the sequence.

For Indirect costs, the additional unit of measure percentage is available. This adds the defined percentage to the total cost calculated (cost center, employee, machine, indirect costs and P- products). For example, if defined as 1.15, an additional 15% is added to the cost.

Info

For the Indirect Cost to be included correctly, the following configuration is important in the [Indirect Cost](/user-guide/etendo-classic/basic-features/production-management/setup/#indirect-cost_2) screen:<br>
    -select Cost Type = Production,<br>
    -a date range that includes the date of the standard cost calculation in the Value tab.<br>
This way, the standard cost for each operation is calculated.

The outcome of the calculation appears in the tabs of the Process Plan:

In the Employee, Machine and Indirect Cost tabs, the result of the costs are automatically populated.
